We enjoyed the recent extended Valentines Day/President's Day weekend with our amazing little granddaughter and her parents. By contrast, we left behind, and returned to, frosted white trees whereas we saw, while in Sacramento at a layover, white blossomed almond trees. Likewise, Oregon's temperate climate allowed for green grass and intricate pink petaled rhododendrons.
But what I most enjoyed was the emerging, blossoming personality of our nearly 6-month old grandchild. She's bright and alert. She loved being taken on stroller rides where, attentive, she took in what we said and showed her. "Talkative", she conversed, laughed, and smiled during nearly all of her awake moments. And, while at Church, she was a joy to walk/carry thru the halls. No fussing. No whining. She just watched everyone and everthing, far surpassing the behavior of any other baby or every other child. She fell asleep, a short cat nap, with her white leotard left toes in her mouth. And when she woke up, rather than cry and create chaos, that little sweetheart merely remained quiet, listening to the elderly speakers go on and on, content to merely be held, facing forward, so that she could see everything going on around her. Papa's Little Angel.
So yeah, it was nice seeing Spring blossoms because, it's going to be a few more months before we see signs of spring here, but the real joy was in being a witness to the emerging, blossoming personality of this most amazing little person...
This kid is a hoot!
Be well, do good...
